Music Style: New Music
Grammy-nominated ensemble Hub New Music performs an array of brand new compositions written for them. New works by composers James Diaz, Daniel Thomas Davis, Jessica Meyer, Angélica Negrón, and Michael Ippolito explore the full palette of classical music written today. Rounding out the program is Michael Ippolito’s Capriccio, a kaleidoscopic and vivid multi-movement piece inspired by the paintings of abstract expressionist pioneer Hans Hofmann.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Called “contemporary chamber trailblazers” by the Boston Globe, Hub New Music is a Grammy-nominated “nimble quartet of winds and strings” (NPR) forging new paths in 21st-century repertoire. The ensemble’s ambitious commissioning projects and “appealing programs” (New Yorker) celebrate the rich diversity of today’s classical music landscape. Founded in 2013, Hub has grown into a formidable touring ensemble driven by an unwavering dedication to building community through new art. Across its career, Hub has commissioned dozens of new works and continues to usher in a fresh and culturally relevant body of work for its distinct combination of flute, clarinet, violin, and cello. Hub is proud to collaborate with today’s most celebrated emerging and established composers, and is equally proud to count many of them as friends.
